The all-new approach for experienced ASP.NET
professionals!
ASP.NET is Microsoft’s technology for building dynamically
generated web pages from database content. Originally introduced in
2002, ASP.NET has undergone many changes in multiple versions and
iterations as developers have gained a decade of experience with
this popular technology. With that decade of experience, this
edition of the book presents a fresh, new overhauled approach.
* A new focus on how to build ASP.NET sites and applications
relying on field-tested reliable methods
* Integration of ‘One ASP.NET’ philosophy treating ASP.NET Web
Forms and ASP.NET MVC as equal tools each with their proper time
and place
* Coverage of hot new ASP.NET 4.5 additions such as the Web API,
Websockets and HTML5 & CSS3 use in layout but only to the
extent that the tools themselves are practical and useful for
working ASP.NET developers
Professional ASP.NET 4.5 in C# and VB is an
essential tool for programmers who need to be productive and build
reliably performing sites with the latest ASP.NET Framework and
Visual Studio.
